Refinement Path Convention

In Fang Yuan’s previous life he began preparing for the Refinement Path Convention over eighty years in advance, collecting tasks from years of competitions and practising them laboriously. The contents of past and future competitions could be bought from people specialized in selling such information. Starting from the eighth round, rewards become far more valuable than the first seven rounds, including immortal materials and Immortal Gu recipes, which is why he treated the convention as a method to gather immortal materials in that life. ^{ch. 842}

Fang Yuan’s target for the convention is to get into the top six so he can benefit from the Infallible inheritance and get a chance to refine Gu with assured success. ^{ch. 843}

Heavenly Court Gu Immortals open Infallible blessed land, which holds the Infallible inheritance. Every time that inheritance accumulates to the limit it has thirty-six success dao marks; Heavenly Court has taken away thirty over thousands of years, leaving six for participants of the Refinement Path Convention that even Heavenly Court cannot seize. Bi Chen Tian notes there are more mortal failure Gu than previously, and that the scale of the Refinement Path Convention is becoming bigger and bigger. ^{ch. 845}

According to Heavenly Court research, Infallible blessed land was the possession of the hairy man leader. After his death he left an inheritance that gathers other people’s failures and refines them into mortal failure Gu; as those mortal Gu increase in numbers they condense into success dao marks. Heavenly Court captured the blessed land and used it as the foundation to develop and urge the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention so the Infallible inheritance would quickly accumulate mortal failure Gu, then used the gathered success dao marks to restore fate Gu. ^{ch. 845}
